David Lynch releasing electronic music album later this year

As promised by the recent transformation of DavidLynch.com into the “David Lynch Music Company,” the filmmaker has lately turned his idiosyncratic attention to making music his chief pursuit. And while so far that’s been limited to last year’s “Good Day Today” single, his collaborations on Dark Night Of The Soul, and digging through his soundtrack archives, we may soon have an entire album of Lynch to contemplate: According to a press release, he’s officially completed work on his first record of electronic music due out later this year, and plans to reveal details during his keynote address at the Ibiza International Music summit on May 26—though only via Skype, as he and his “Good Day Today” engineer will appear live from his home studio, where he’ll discuss his music and the process of making it. Here’s betting it didn’t involve a few beers and some late-night guitar jams.
